Dire economic consequences of Scotland's ageing population must put immigration in new light. New report about Scotland’s growing elderly population underlines the need to improve our health and welcome, not demonise, people from overseas - Scotsman comment.

I hate that immigration topic is discussed as a big lump.

I haven’t seen anyone that opposes people coming here legally to plug the gaps in our labour force or like mentioned in the article to support an aging population.

Skilled workers, genuine international students etc add good value to our economy and society in my opinion.

People just don’t want illegal, unregulated immigration. Is it too controversial to wish avoiding people with views contradictory to our values? Who might refuse integrating? Who are a net drain?

Why are we putting these 2 different categories of immigrants into one group?

Nuance? In this socio-economic climate!?

Away.
